It is manufactured in Spain by Denix with top quality materials.

The Peacemaker revolver, also known as the Single Action Army (SAA), was designed by Samuel Colt in 1873 and was produced in different barrel lengths: the short version, 4.75 inches, the longer forms, 5.5 and 7.5 inches, or the imposing "Buntline Special", 12 inches.

This weapon was initially used by the US Army. However, within a few years, most American citizens had one of these revolvers. The fact that it used ammunition of the same calibre as the Winchester M1873 rifle helped popularise it as a handgun in the American Old West at the end of the 19th century.

Curiously, this revolver has received numerous nicknames. Apart from the aforementioned Peacemaker, it is also known as the Frontier or Widowmaker, in reference to the ease with which this revolver left widows in the wives of the time.

The film industry mythologized the "Peacemaker" in the westerns of the 1940s and 1950s, and it was associated with big screen stars such as John Wayne and Gary Cooper. Roosevelt also had one with his initials engraved on it, and George S. Patton used two.

It is manufactured in Spain by Denix with high quality metal and polymer.
